Converse Addict by NIGO

Japanese music producer, DJ and BAPE founder NIGO teams up with Converse’s Japan-exclusive Converse Addict line to produce a re-imagined version of the iconic Chuck Taylor sneakers. In two color options including white and brown, the shoe still features the same modified construction with improved fit, new stitching and Vibram soles. A new side zip element adorns the side portions of the shoe, adding a bit of militaristic flair to the storied silhouette. A release is set for March 10 at select retailers.

    beaters for bitches with lots of money. Would buy if it felt practical. The improvements are vast but subtle and not everyone’s going to understand that– said it before, will say again: this line is called Converse Addict for a reason. NIGO’s involvement; whatever. Doesn’t change the fact that I approve of these (whites in particular)

    at the end of the day… people are going to buy these and its a clean design. Nigo already succeeded… if there was a  specific pattern or classic bape print everyone would be yapping about how ugly/played and so forth… go design some shit and get it posted on hypebeast. He’s moving into a new direction… hop off nuts.

    people always expect more from these big names. if products were created by the brand itself people will say otherwise. it makes people overlook some good designs. high-cut chucks with zippers are more wearable. I have to say it is a good design but NIGO is NOT the only one can make it.
